Ok... let me first start by saying that although I clearly remember us taking pictures... I cannot find them anywhere so I am assuming they are on someone's phone.

I have improvised as any great DIS'er would do and well...

... stole pictures from someone else!

Have I no shame? Apparantly not. So if these happen to be your pictures, know that I apparantly thought they were some of the best out there.

I did not grab pictures with people's family in them...HOWEVER I recently read a PTR that did that very thing and I have to say it was the funniest part of my day!
So Friday night we head to Ohana. We did stop at the GF to see their Christmas decorations and then headed on over. It was CHAOS there! I also had planned to get a Lapu Lapu to enjoy before the meal but thought better of it as it is so big and I knew it would fill me up. After all, remember our lunch? (I would insert a little fat piggie smiley here if I had one!)
So we check in at 8PM and there are no seats anywhere to be found. We had an 8:20 ADR and I guess I thought it would be a little less crowded. WRONG! I was kind of excited about this reservation because so many people loved it. I did not think that my family would find it to be their favorite- Mary does not like much meat, T1 does not like coconut, and T2 doesn't, well, like much of anything.
We are finally seated at 8:30.. not a bad wait for an 8:20 ADR. We sit for a while with our bread and wait. Then the salad comes. Then another large group is seated next to us... with a ton of small children.
So the waiter who is now taking the drink orders for the next table looks over at us sitting there and I guess realizes he forgot to take care of us.
So while getting them their drinks he sends someone over with plates for us.

So we get some salad and bread and one bite into the bread I remember that CK2 is allergic to coconut... and I SNATCH his bread off his plate so fast he doesn't really even notice. I then tell him it has coconut in it.
Finally, with bread all gone and salad 1/2 eaten, our server takes our drink order.

No apologies, No "I'll be right with you all", No nothing. Ok.. so we give him our drink orders and I want to say that Uncle orders his drinks with no ice. He does not like cold things. He is often cold. Ice makes it worse.
So then the sauce and food comes. Umm....still no drinks.
(Don't I steal just the best looking food porn pictures?

)
So we start eating and T2 only has bread on his plate. Nothing else really looks good to him. I suggest he eat a wing since they are not spicy. We all begin to eat and the boys are on 2nds by the time we get drinks.
Then the meat skewers begin to circulate. None brought by our waiter as many have said their waiter brought them himself....
This was not our waiter so don't bash him for our bad service. It gets better. (That is sarcasm you hear in my typing

)
So by this time another waiter is now helping ours who is actually waiting on the other table, which tells me he does know how to.

I think this man was being trained. He was very nervous. He brought us refills of drinks and asked which meats we might want 2nds of and had someone else bring them.
So let's just say we were here a LONG time. We waited at least 15 minutes for drinks, at least 10 for plates and were there almost an hour before meats came around to us. And often times, only half the table was served something and the other half had to wait until 2nds of that meat came back by....(always by someone else's server).
So we watched the lady's show two full times and the kids do their coconut race twice as well. By the way, the first show the lady was flirting with Uncle! Woohoo! This was funny to us of course.

The second time, she came over and really flirted and dropped 8 lays over his head, one by one by one.

We are not really sure if she was told to by the manager who came over after waiter #2's incident or not.
So the kids really didn't know how to peel the shrimp so I peeled a lot of them. Thankful for those little towels. I knew I was in trouble when T1 said, "Hey, these still have legs on them!". This also meant that T2 was not going to eat them even after having them peeled. The chicken we got was not cooked all the way. The steak was ok. The pork and turkey were not really anything to write home about and I couldn't even tell which was which. We never got the sausages. Half the table never got pork and turkey so we shared ours with them. We mainly got shrimp.
But we did love all the stuff they give you at the beginning. My favorite was the wings. T2 ended up liking the noodles. He ate the whole bowl on his end. CK1 and CK2 ate well and T1 ate a ton of shrimp. Uncle liked most of the meats as he likes his rare. Mary liked the veggies and noodles and chicken.
So then we waited for dessert. The table next to us had got theirs, ate it, asked for another plate of hot towels to clean their 6 small children up, did one more coconut broom race and had left. The dining room was getting more and more empty and our waiter #2 was cleaning tables off.
We did not complain because we were fed. And the man was busy... just not with us. Then all of a sudden we see our dessert and then Uncle is jumping in his seat. Excitement maybe? Umm... NO!
Waiter #2 dumped a glass of coke filled with ice down his back. And as he jumped, Uncle scared the man and he tipped his full tray and dumped another two or three cups of ice along with it.
Uncle was super nice about it really... I was rather proud of him. He tends to be very LOUD over the most minor of things but he was a perfect gentleman here.
The man apologized purfusely and ran off to get cloth napkins to dry his back off. We worked on him for a while and Uncle put on his coat and was very gracious to the waiter. Pretty soon the manager came out and apologized as well.
We ate our ice cream and paid and left.
Will we go back again. No. Was it because of the waiter? No. Was it because we got lousy service? No. Was it because we just thought that it would be something more than it was? Yes. Just not our thing. Would I try it for breakfast? No. Why? Because I tried Kona and it would be hard to top that now wouldn't it?
We walked out onto the pier and looked at the beautiful castle and the wonderful pool and then headed back to our resort for the night.
Up next
Le Cellier!
